Cables

Hello

I wanna ask you guys for a three-phase system when P=24 kW U=400V and I=34.64 what cross-section of cable I have to use and fuse to have 1.5% max losses for 95 m distance.

Thank you

Re: Cables

400V / 24kw / Three phase is at a minimum a job for a licensed electrican, NOT a do it yourself job with info off the internet. Anyone even thinking of providing information would be putting people in harms way ...

You will need to be signed off by your local jurisdiction, I'm sure they will require properly certified professionals to have installed with permits so start there for your questions

Re: Cables

Is this the AC side or the DC side ? DC fuses are much trickier at high voltages & currents than AC.


Most of us here are involved in 5KW household sized systems, and you are dealing with a system a couple of magnitudes above our experience, of which we know little about.

Re: Cables

I would agree that it will be cheap, just a small incremental cost, to get a professional to do your connection.

However, forgive me for asking the obvious, but is there no way you can get the panels and inverters closer to the place where the electricity will be used?
